Reactions about Indonesia come from all over the world: Westerner, Indian, Filipino, theyspeak in English, while Korean, Japanese,, Chinese, African, Middle Eastern speak Indonesian (mostly they once lived in Indonesia) and Malaysian + Bruneian speak Melayu (close to Indonesian). Generally that is the case.
Papuans are very musical, they like to sing and dance. Even in wedding ceremony, the way they walk is a bit faster and resembles a little running as the expression of dancing.
I found they are usually from Malaysia. So far I only found only one channel from Brunai.
Believe or not, I learn about Indonesia from them. They present so many things about Indonesia that I didn’t know before.
Something different — and awesome — from them is: They mostly start their video with prayers for the viewers such as good health, good fortune, happy, safe or such.
Malaysians are among most genuine nations that I ever found. They are keen and appreciate good things with sincerity, without drama. Indonesia should learn from them. That’s my personal opinion.
Some of Indonesian Youtubers might do the same, but with shorter words and fewer points of prayer.
Isn’t it good when people pray for us? π
Why do they pray for strangers? It probably because that’s a Malaysian culture, or perhaps they believe when you pray for others, you got what you pray too, as stated in the Hadith: the life and sayings by Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)
And what about Indonesian viewers?
I frequently found they give prayers at comment section especially in religious theme.
In a channel of Indonesian expat in Saudi Arabia, he prays for pilgrims, even the mutual viewers — along with their families.
Prayer for granted pilgrimage, abundant fortune, good health.
